Movie Theater Taking of Pelham 123

[garandman]

Maybe this has already been discussed, but....


When the SpecOps guys load up the bags for Denzel Washington, I seem to remember they put a nickel plated Walther PPK in there.

When he grabs the gun out of the bag, its a Kahr / something, but definitely NOT a Walther.

Am I right on this?

yeah you are, I watched it last night and noticed the same thing

Re: Taking of Pelham 123

Somebody should get fired for that.

It would be like instead of having Denzel Washington for the final scene, suddenly JJ Walker appears.

Its like "Every gun looks alike to them" or something.

Such as?

Two things detonate a movie for me - BIG gun errors, and "Yeah, right...." scenes.


That was BIG BIG gun error. It would be like having the bad guys suddenly appear in a different car in teh middle of a car chase scene.

Unforgiveable.

Picky..., picky...

Admit it, we're a tough crowd to play to; and especially, probably overly, sensitive to continuity and other errors where firearms are involved.

Politics of actors are not part of the production, but are probably a strong factor where casting is concerned. Assholes attract. We all know it; get over it.

The portrayals are where it's at, folks.

Movies are entertainment, which often, if not invariably, requires a willing suspension of disbelief.

I know there are people who think the Army will mail them a certificate for a B4 ASI after they have seen <span style="font-style: italic">Sniper</span> and <span style="font-style: italic">Shooter</span>, but that turns out not to be the case.

Maybe its me, but I pretty much REFUSE to suspend disbelief, even in movies.

If a movie ever makes me go "Yeah, right" where its supposed to be something other than sci fi, its pretty much over for me.

Tough standard? Sure.

Far as this one, many movie directors take pride (or they should) in getting the little details right. Its what makes a movie "art." I still liked "Pelham" and just wondered WHY change guns? DId they get to that scene, and somebody figgered out they forgot to bring the Walther, so they just used what Biff the camera man was packin'?

Re: Taking of Pelham 123

didn't care for this movie that much. Only thing i liked was the way Travolta was making his score.

Re: Taking of Pelham 123

I have not seen it, but it will be hard to top Robert Shaw in the original.

 

[SmokinAce]

Re: Taking of Pelham 123

It was a ok movie I do think Travolta did a good job though.

Re: Taking of Pelham 123

The acting was alright. It was the writing that made it forgettable. Very forgettable.
